I want to go to Radio Shack when I die

Yes it would be like heaven for me.

All dogs go to heaven

I think that was a Twilight Zone episode.

Radio Shack heaven?...Twilight Zone? Rod Serling was one of my mother's heroes...she watched that show every Friday night...She'd let me stay up late and watch it too, which was a privilege even on a Friday night, seeing how young I was. Radio Shack heaven - I love this bent stuff of yours - maybe if Neal was bent instead of beat he wouldn't have been inclined to drop dead walking a railroad in Mexico...it might have been better if he passed away talking to some fag Radio Shack clerk with brown skin, green eyes, & an ear full if jewelry.
Doll, you may have found a place of rest but I'm still on the trail.

The twilight zone episode about the old man and his dog is the one I was thinking of. I loved that show.

The Hunt
"The first script I wrote was about an old man (Hyder Simpson) who goes on a hunt with his hound dog. You see the dog pulled under the water by a coon, then you switch to the next morning. The old man and his dog are walking along a strange road, and the man wonders where he is. When he comes to a young man beside a gate, he asks if this would be heaven."

Hyder (awed) Then I take your name to be St. Peter.

Guard I keep the gate, that's a fact.

Hyder (removing his hat) Well, uh, I'm mighty proud to have met up with you.

Guard Just as proud to have you here, neighbor Simpson.

Hyder (replacing his hat and contemplating the mist) I always thought there was a lot of singing and dancing in Heaven. How come I don't hear no music?

Guard Because you're on the outside. The minute you step inside that gate you'll hear your favorite hymn.

Hyder Well, I don't care much for hymn-singin'. Favor guitar music, myself.

Guard (taking Hyder by the arm) Well, don't stand out here in the cold, cold world, come on in and reap your Heavenly reward.

Hyder Come on, Rip!

Guard Oh, hold on there, Mr. Simpson, you can't take that dog in there.

Hyder (hurt) Ain't no fleas on that dog!

Guard That don't make no nevermind. He can't come in.

Hyder How come?

Guard This here is folks' Heaven. There's another place we can put him, though, right up the road. Now you just tie him to the fence there and I'll walk him up for you a little later on.

Hyder (as he starts away from the gate) Come on, Rip!

Guard Now hold on there, Mr. Simpson. Where do you think you're going?

Hyder Well, I thank you very much, but I don't reckon in there is any place for me. ? Well any place that's too high-falutin' for Rip is too fancy for me. How thoroughbred does a dog have to be before you let him in there, anyway?

Guard Ain't no dogs allowed in there a'tall.

Hyder What kind of outfit you runnin' don't allow no dogs?

Guard I tell you, they got a special place for dogs right up the road.

Hyder Well, me and Rip'll go on down there then.

Guard Well, you won't get in. The dog maybe, but not you.

Hyder Now what kind of Heaven would it be with nuthin' in it but dog? A dog's got a right to have a man around just the same as a man's got a right to have a dog around. If'en he wants to be anyways happy.

Guard Neighbor, let me make you a little proposi-tion. Why don't you go on in the gate and a little later on I'll slip the dog through the fence to you? ?

Hyder Friend Peter, if I go in that front gate Rip's going in that front gate likewise. I don't want him to get the feelin' that he ain't welcome. ?


Hyder and Rip continue along the road. Hyder stops and sits to rest on a fallen tree trunk.

Hyder Eternity's a powerful long spell to go without a 'coon hunt, ain't it, Rip? ? Let 'em set in there tootin' on their harps or whatever they do for relaxation; me and you stays together. Just like we was when we's travelin' down below.

Hyder looks up and notices a young man walking towards him. ?

Young Man Howdy! I'm lookin' for a Mr. Hyder Simpson and a hound dog name of Rip.

Hyder Well, that's us!

Young Man (smiling as he leans over to pet Rip) I figured it was. Well, if you and Rip's all set, we might as well mosey along.

Hyder Mosey along where?

Young Man Heaven, Mr. Simpson.

Hyder Well, like I told that other feller back up the road there, I ain't gonna set foot in Heaven without Rip.

Young Man Now, you didn't get messed up with nobody in there, did you?

Hyder Well, that feller at the gate, he wouldn't let Rip in, so I didn't go. Son, that'd be a helluva place without Rip.

Young Man Mr. Simpson, you ain't far wrong. That is Hell. Heaven's up yonder apiece.

Hyder Well, I'll be jiggered. Now how come that feller'd want to lie to me?

Young Man Well, they don't never give up. Always tryin' to get folks in there right down to the last minute.

Hyder What reason would they have for wantin' to keep Rip out?

Young Man Well, they was a'feared Rip would've warned you. And he would of by the time he got a whiff of that brimstone. You see, Mr. Simpson, a man, well, he'll walk right into Hell with both eyes open. But even the devil can't fool a dog!

? We do a time-lapse fade as they continue to walk the road. ? The old man waves goodbye to the angel and makes a ceremonial entrance as he goes up the path with his dog. The closing narration begins:

ROD SERLING'S VOICE Travelers to unknown regions would be well advised to take along the family dog. He could just save you from entering the wrong gate. At least it happened that way once in a mountainous area of the Twilight Zone.

ghostly dream and the ghost was me,
in a room full of people all my family
no one could hear me,
no matter how loud I talked they seemed to be ignoring me,
finally I shouted,"Why can't you hear me, am I a ghost?
At that point I woke up,

Dino said you can't die in a dream but I wonder can you be dead in a dream? Is that what it is like for fools like me?

To this white bone;
What love did then, love does now:
Gnaws me through.'

Before my next surgery I am going to fast.
I was full of shite

Her roommate upset about that. As I cleaned up after my mother I thought about how many shity diapers she changed for me

Evidence of conscious-like activity in the dying brain

Post by stilltrucking » May 4th, 2023, 1:02 am

Furthermore, the activity was detected in the so-called hot zone of neural correlates of consciousness in the brain, the junction between the temporal, parietal and occipital lobes in the back of the brain. This area has been correlated with dreaming, visual hallucinations in epilepsy, and altered states of consciousness in other brain studies.
